Residents press for progress on Veterans Memorial; flag at rodeo grounds replaced
Summary
Residents told council a torn and undersized flag at the rodeo grounds was replaced and asked why the Veterans Memorial project, funded by donations, has not yet broken ground. Councilors clarified the memorial is managed by a separate park/tax district and advised residents to attend that committee's meetings.
A resident raised concerns that the American flag at the rodeo grounds was undersized and badly tattered; the resident and others arranged for a new flag to be installed at the entrance. The resident described the prior flag as "undersized" and "so torn and tattered," prompting the replacement.
Speakers also pressed for information about a planned Veterans Memorial that donors have supported but which has not started construction. Councilors clarified the memorial and its fundraising are overseen by a separate park district (not the town), noted the park committee meets the first Tuesday of each month, and encouraged donors to contact that committee for updates and to request photos or progress reports.
